lprwire

lprwire
This program sits on the normal lpr port - port 515 - and pretends to be a
fully functional lpr deamon.
It allows ALL lpr traffic for a server to be sucked in and treated like an
incoming data stream like a wire service.
A small FipHdr is added with date and time fields, sender and receiver logons
before the file is passed on - normally to spool/2brouted for 'iproute' to sort
out.
Note that on some flavours of Unix, 'lprwire' needs to be started by someone
with 'root' priviledges if the port number is less than 1024 - which port 515
normally is !
Example
lpr -Y -Pfip@(yourhost) (filename)
Input Parameters :
All Optional :
-A : name of the archive file if not the -n name field default: 'name'

-C : always close the underlying socket default: no

file is required (SD header field). default: none
-f : Extra FIP header information default: none
For fixed header info in FIP. eg -f #QA:AA#QB:BASIC
As this flag is normally the last specified, its contents
can be used to overwrite any unique fields such as DU, DP,
SN etc.
